Latest college basketball transfer news
April 17
Auburn’s Chad Baker-Mazara enters the portal
Baker-Mazara, who started 34 games during the Tigers’ run to the Final Four, announced that he’s entering the transfer portal. The 25-year-old has one year of eligibility left due to the NCAA’s temporary waiver allowing student-athletes who previously competed at a non-NCAA school — junior college or NAIA, essentially — to play a fourth season at an NCAA school in 2025-26. A critical albeit enigmatic part of Auburn’s success over the last couple of seasons, Baker-Mazara averaged 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists this past season, shooting 38.1% from 3-point range.
Bruce Pearl has now lost his entire starting five from a team that earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, but has made a couple of splashes in the transfer portal, adding Keyshawn Hall (UCF) and KeShawn Murphy (Mississippi State). — Borzello
Akron’s Nate Johnson enters portal
The MAC Player of the Year entered the transfer portal, as reported by ESPN. The 6-foot-3 junior averaged 14.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists this past season. — Borzello
Caleb Foster returns to Duke
Foster announced his return via the program’s podcast. He has averaged 6.1 points in 65 games played over his first two seasons with the Blue Devils. — staff
